Organiser Trish Burchall said: “The money is to go towards the care he needs to get him on the road to recovery, whatever it may be. It could be used to help the family or Sean. It is just there so they don’t have to worry as it could be a long road ahead.

“We were pleased with the amount of people there. Sean’s mum and sister came too. It was a very emotional night, even the singer broke down at one point.It was a really good night and we were really grateful for the money raised.”

The cause of the former Dorcan Technology College student’s injuries remains a mystery as he has not regained consciousness, although it is not thought he was attacked. He had no travel insurance and it was costing up to £1,000 a day to keep him in intensive care in a Mumbai hospital. His family and friends launched a fundraising campaign to bring him home and Sean flew back on a private charter earlier this month.
